Alias

I imagine    
The numbers  
Of us    
Who have had to    
Break off    
Into new aliases    
(Maybe even real names)    
For other    
Internet parts    
Ranging from    
Social media    
To forums    
And the    
Occasional    
Chat room    
(Do they still exist?  
ICQ, mIRC I think)    
After places    
Like Planet Out,    
Migente,    
Black Planet,    
Or Gay Dot Com    
(Lesser knowns-    
Shoe, My Les
Something BGC)    
To numb the pain    
Over the years    
Of becoming different    
Or unrecognizable    
Even to ourselves    
As a species    
Of Women.    
   
To get away    
   
To give    
Some    
Following space    
Between    
Who we were    
   
And who we have    
Become.
